X7690 EFC3/T23.4.25. To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. X.7690. EAC. DISTRIBUTOR. Reference our EFC4/T15.4.25, transpiring as it does that the engine unit which was on 46-PK is now on 98-NK, we should be glad if you would have the six holes drilled in the distributor head now on 98-NK, the reason of this being that this distributor unit was quite recently fitted with new points, and we want to start the experiment with new points. The holes should be drilled mid-way between the figures, and not through the figures, as in the one you did for us our rig. EFC. | ||
